Two (2) weeks advanced notice for all requests
NOTE: Please read the
following Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works (CONTU)
copyright guidelines before submitting your Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
request. Copyright guidelines are in effect for ILL items. This may
affect the status of your ILL request.
Interlibrary loans for the Sullivan Libraries come from two sources:
- Libraries within the Sullivan University Libraries
System (SUS):
- When students and
faculty submit their requests to the Reference Desk the SUS ILL form is
completed and e-mailed to the appropriate library. Students are given a
2-3 business day expectation for the book to arrive. No processing fee
is charged for this service.
-
Items requested must
relate to research or class work. Materials such as reference
materials, DVDs or VHS tapes, or other a/v are rarely available via ILL
and these requests may be refused. Since few libraries will fill ILL
requests without reimbursement of processing fees, Sullivan will
subsidize a portion of the ILL fees as follows:
- Students - Sullivan will subsidize up to $5 to
cover processing fees per request.
-
Faculty other than
the College of Pharmacy faculty ? Sullivan will subsidize up to $20 per request.
- College of Pharmacy (CoP) faculty - Sullivan will
subsidize $5 for the first 10 articles requested each
quarter.
ILL requests by the
College of Pharmacy (CoP) faculty should initially be sent
to the Director of the Drug Information Center.
- For outside requests a
separate ILL form is completed by the individual making the request that
allows them to specify if they will pay the cost difference to obtain
materials and how much.
Sullivan University Libraries respect copyright law and utilize the
following guidelines when filling requests:
-
The library cannot submit more than 5 requests for articles from a
particular magazine or journal title per calendar year ("Rule of 5") without paying royalty
fees.
-
This applies to
any issue of a
periodical title published within the
last 5 years. In other words, up to
5 articles can be requested from a
periodical title that is dated within the last 5 years.
Otherwise, royalties must be paid to the copyright holder.
-
A patron cannot request more than 2
articles from a particular issue of a
periodical ("Rule of 2").
The date of the periodical issue does not matter in this instance.
In other words, a patron could request up to two articles from the
April 2003 issue of a particular periodical. However, if the library
has met its limit of 5 requests from that particular periodical
title, the request may take longer because of the royalty fees
involved.
- Please contact the library if you
have further questions about the copyright issues that must be
followed in the ILL process.
